When Brazilian defender Felipe says he wants to bring Diego Simone’s ‘warrior’ characteristics to Nottingham Forest, you may just feel a shudder rippling through the Premier League.
Phil Foden, in particular, may well be alerted to the fact that Manchester City go to the City Ground in a fortnight’s time.
Felipe left Foden with blood coming from a head wound after a challenge on the England forward during last season’s Champions League second leg quarter-final tie at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Foden needed to be bandaged up before playing on - and Felipe did not even get a booking.
